Turning the Ordinary into Extraordinary
We are excited to introduce our Puffed Amaranth Snack Bar. This delightful snack combines the distinct features of amaranth, a wonderful grain that's often overlooked, with the rich flavors of various dried fruits. Not to mention, it's a great way to use your leftover dried fruits. As you bite into this snack bar, the popping amaranth will bring a playful twist, while the honey-kissed dried fruits add a beautiful medley of sweet and tangy notes.
